Treat Yourself

Plantshed Cafe - There's no better way to start your day than a coffee and croissant from Plantshed - you may even run into Jerry Seinfeld in this botanical gem!

Levain Bakery - The original Levain is on the Upper West Side, so really, how can you not treat yourself to a delicious cookie while in the neighborhood? 

Shakespeare & Co - A sweet treat in a charming Upper West Side bookstore? Yes please!

Orwashers - Orwashers freshly baked bread and other baked goods are some of the tastiest in the city. There's a reason this place has been around since 1916.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream - I find myself dropping by Van Leeuwen after almost every dinner for a Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream and I must say it's the best ice cream I've ever had! Yes, it's vegan and yes it's that good.
